Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Kidney beans (rajma), cooked and drained
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Paprika or red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (optional, for binding)
- 2 tablespoons Oil, for shallow frying
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 0.5 cup Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mint leaves, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked kidney beans (rajma) until slightly chunky. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this.
Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, ginger, green chili, cilantro, bread crumbs, garam masala, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well to combine.
If the mixture feels too wet, add the all-purpose flour to help bind the patties.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about the size of your burger buns.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
In a small bowl, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the yogurt, mint leaves, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Toast the burger buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster to add a bit of crunch.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a rajma patty, followed by tomato slices, onion slices, and a generous dollop of the yogurt-mint sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with a side of fries or a fresh salad.
